Cornhusker Fly Fishers at the 2025 Missouri River Expo
Date: September 20–21, 2025 Location: Ponca State Park, Nebraska
What a weekend! Our fly fishing club had the incredible opportunity to attend the 2025 Missouri River Expo at Ponca State Park, and it was nothing short of inspiring. With thousands of outdoor enthusiasts gathering to celebrate conservation, education, and adventure, we were proud to represent the art and joy of fly fishing.
Setting the Scene
Ponca State Park was buzzing with energy as families, anglers, and nature lovers explored over 100 exhibits and hands-on activities. Nestled along the scenic Missouri River bluffs, the park provided the perfect backdrop for our club to share our passion for fly fishing and stewardship of the resources we enjoy.
🎯 Our Booth & Activities
Our booth featured:
Fly tying demonstrations for all ages
Casting demonstrations led by our experienced members
Our crew
We were thrilled to engage with the many folks that stopped by our booth to learn about fly tying and fly fishing. The smiles, curiosity, and questions reminded us why we do what we do.
🌊 Conservation First
As a non-profit, our mission goes beyond fishing. We advocate for clean waterways, responsible recreation, and habitat preservation. We are always interested in discussing proper fish handling for catch and release to minimize losses of released fish.
🤝 Community & Connection
One of the best parts of the Expo was connecting with other outdoor enthusiasts. We talked about the club and may have even recruited a few new members! The sense of community is always strong, and we left feeling energized for the year ahead.
🐟 Looking Ahead
Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth, asked questions, and shared stories. We’re already looking forward to next year’s Expo—and we hope to see even more of you out there on the water.
